[Game] Game 13: Sacramento Kings @ Minnesota Timberpups 11/22/14. 5 PM PST/8 PM EST

[HereWeBoogie]

Our team looks so bad against the zone

 

[VF21]

Come on, Kings. DON'T SHOOT THE STUPID THREES!

 

[kingjatt]

wolves giving us tons of space, daring us to shoot.

 

[kingjatt]

looks like we got bad ben today.....

 

[sactownfan]

wow Ben calm down

 

[kingsboi]

sloppy...can't even make open shots. sigh

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i hate when we play bad teams

 

[Chubbs]

This is fugly

 

[fursty13]

I'd give Nik a shot. Have him stand in the corner and let 'em fly when he gets the ball. The corner 3 has been open early so far.

 

[Woogie]

Come on big fella, give a ball to your PG!

 

[VF21]

Very lazy start. I'm not impressed and if I'm Mike Malone I'm certainly telling them exactly that during the time-out. Lazy basketball against inferior opponents leads to one thing: a loss you could have won.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Nice to see the Purple unis. Seems like it's been a while

 

[Gilles]

Solid defense, but no urgency and intensity on the other end - just goofing around.

 

[Tetsujin]

Flaccid start for the Kings

 

[dude12]

This would be a great game for Nik to knock down about 4 3's or so......lets get Gay in the paint for some short J's

 

[swisshh]

even with a rough start, I doubt this ends up a trap game

Just got to move and run it through the high post. Minny will probably turn it over if you apply a bit more pressure.

 

[Glenn]

Flaccid start for the Kings

They don't seem up for this one.

 

[Tetsujin]

Very lazy start. I'm not impressed and if I'm Mike Malone I'm certainly telling them exactly that during the time-out. Lazy basketball against inferior opponents leads to one thing: a loss you could have won.

Playing down to the level of the competition is a Kings tradition!

 

[Sac.Kings]

Seems like the typical start for us that we usually have for bad teams.

 

[dude12]

Wow...turning it over on bad plays

 

[dude12]

TWolves hung around with the Spurs last night until about early 3rd when they just imploded

 

[Gilles]

Excellent play by Ben!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Just gonna leave Bennett open all day?

 

[sactownfan]

ok ok good pass Ben settle down. .... and a lay up ok .. how about a 3? lol! too much?

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

we look bad.

 

[dude12]

Geeeezzzus..how many wide open shots can we give Bennett?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

JT's defense in the paint has been really good. But he is a complete moron when it comes to leaving his man open off the ball

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I continue to be baffled by teams and players who are determined to beat a zone by taking tons of three-point field goals. I know that analytics guys like to salivate over threes, but it's ****ing stupid. The thing about the zone is that it's designed to stop penetration, but it's not particularly suited to deny ball reversal. I've found that the best way to beat the zone is with quick passes, cuts and screens. You would think that a franchise with our recent history would be cognizant of that.

As Charles Barkley might say, Coachie is rolling over in his grave...

 

[VF21]

Dear Kings, Please remove your heads from your collective arses. Thank you. Signed, A Fan

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

lol, everyone looks surprised by all the interior passes.
